However, researchers maintain that cannulated cows do not experience pain when being examined. And, the cows are anaesthetised when the cannulas are fitted.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, <a class=\"norm\" title=\"A window to the world of a cow's stomach\" href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20091213170432\/http:\/www.thelantern.com\/2.1345\/a-window-to-the-world-of-a-cow-s-stomach-1.89665\">according to The Lantern article<\/a>, cannulated cows may be healthier than their &#8216;unwindowed&#8217; herd mates:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The digestion of food for nutrients in the rumen is done by millions of microorganisms. The abundance of microbes also keeps the cannulated cow healthy, often the healthiest in the herd, Weaver said.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;You would think that by having an opening in their sides would allow outside microbes to enter and infect the cows, but with there being such a numerous presence of natural microbes already in the rumen, the new microbes cannot compete for nutrients to survive,&#8217; Weaver said.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Because these cows are so healthy, some farmers keep a cannulated cow on the farm to help improve the health of the other animals in the herd.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;Basically, the cannulated cows serve as a rumen fluid donor to sick animals. This is done by extracting rumen fluid contents from the cannulated cow and feeding it to the sick cow,&#8217; Eastridge said. &#8216;The microorganisms in the fluid multiply and take the place of the bad organisms in the sick cow and make the cow healthy again.&#8217;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cannulated cows are sometimes called fistulated cows. The practise is also regularly carried out on other ruminant farm animals, <a class=\"norm\" title=\"An Effective Device For Rumen Cannulation In Sheep\" href=\"http:\/\/www.priory.com\/cannula_ruminant_sheep.htm\">including sheep<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the practise is not as common as some protest messages imply.  \u00a0Many farmers around the world will likely never have the \u00a0need or desire to \u00a0use such &#8220;cow windows&#8221; and may \u00a0not even be aware of the practise.<\/p>\n<p>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/true-researchers-monitoring-cow-digestion-windows-sides\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/true-researchers-monitoring-cow-digestion-windows-sides\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This story was first published on May 20, 2014 Outline: Circulating reports claim that cows have been fitted with &#8216;windows&#8217; that allow researchers direct access to the rumens of the animals to monitor how food is processed.
